Have you ever wondered if your kids could experience the freedom of clear vision without the hassle of glasses, daytime contacts, or the need for surgery? Well, the answer lies in the revolutionary concept of Ortho-K!
Orthokeratology, or Ortho-K, is a breakthrough solution for controlling myopia in children. It’s a non-surgical, reversible method that’s suitable for kids as young as 7.
So, how does it work? Your child wears specially designed gas-permeable contact lenses while they sleep, gently reshaping the cornea—the front surface of the eye. Upon waking up, they remove the lenses and voila! Clear vision that lasts throughout the day.
One of the most significant advantages for parents is the peace of mind. No more worrying about kids losing or breaking their glasses. With Ortho-K, they can read, engage in hobbies, watch movies, play sports, swim, and enjoy all their activities without the hassle of spectacles or daytime contacts.
Ortho-K stands out as one of the most effective methods for controlling myopia in children, especially considering that laser corrective surgery isn’t an option for them.
Why should parents be concerned about myopia?
Myopia, or short-sightedness, is a rapidly growing global epidemic. According to the World Health Organisation, currently affecting 30% of the world’s population, it’s projected to reach 50% by 2050. Uncontrolled myopia increases the risk of sight-threatening diseases in children.
While single-vision lenses offer clarity, they do nothing to prevent the progression of myopia. If your child’s myopia is advancing, it could escalate to high myopia, increasing the risk of serious eye conditions like retinal detachment, cataracts, and glaucoma later in life.
Active kids who love contact and water sports may find glasses or daytime contacts cumbersome, limiting their engagement in these activities. Poor vision can hinder their potential across various aspects of life.
Ortho-K emerges as the solution, offering a clear path to a brighter and clearer future for your child.
